Description: | A copper-alloy buckle plate, probably of 14th century date.
The plate was formed by bending a sheet of cut bronze back on itself. The reverse of the plate is undecorated and is connected to the front of the plate by two U-sectioned hinges or brackets.
The front is decorated with a quasi-zoomorphic design of a beast (bird or fish?) in an S-shape, with a bar crossing it diagonally from the top right corner to the bottom left. The background has diagonal hatching from upper-left to lower-right.
The outside of the plate has a separate panel with two rivets that would have attached the plate to the belt. | Subjects: | Plate | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
